Why would they simply lie about something, its obvious it wouldn't need SLI'ed GTX's lol, you must be stupid to think that it would need those..

I bet a GTS 640mb would handle it all on max aswell. And oh what a shock, according to that it does, well there we go.

But you can carry on thinking this is the first game in as long as I can remember to need $1k of graphics, if you want.
 
lol how are u expecting benches when the game isnt out yet ? here are somehting interesing :

1_from that link that i and hatman posted , here are some good info :

We do not know how much processor power is needed, though in a recent PC Gamer UK magazine preview Cevat Yerli said an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, 2GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 card could run the game at "ultra detail" settings.

- You do NOT need a DirectX 10 card or Vista to run Crysis

Crysis does not have support for the AGEIA PhysX card.

Crysis will run on 2 to 3 year old PCs (or even 4 year old PCs).

You will need a DirectX 9/Shader Model 2.0 (or higher) compatible graphics card.

Latest Crytek statement: An "Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (or AMD equivalent), 2GB of memory, and either a Radeon HD 2900XT with 512MB of memory or a Geforce 8800 GTS with 640MB of memory" computer is "well-within [Crytek's] plans". However, Crysis is expected to scale back to three-year-old hardware, as well as the next-generation hardware. (Maximum PC, October 2007 Edition)



and here is another one :

2_ http://crysis-online.com/Information/System%20Requirements/

Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista.
A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required.
CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years.
A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon.
Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ).
Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported.

regarding the incrysis info..

That isn't proof at all. That site is all speculation. They evaluated the videos and tried to guess at what hardware they were using and settings. You can't gather information from watching cruddy videos on the net. Everyone knows about those specs released MONTHS ago about the g92 being above 1 tflop as well as sport a 512bit bus as well as 1.5 gigs of memory...I think that was it...Well overall just like back then we are running into the same scenario. But this time it's closer to launch date so it may hold some value or may not. Nvidia hasn't confirmed any of the articles floating around the net. So therefore we have no word on what they will be releasing. All we know is that their gpu's were taped out and that's all...

We just have to wait patiently....Also keep in mind that all these sites never say diddly squat about dx9 or dx10 mode. 1280 isn't that high of a resolution now-a-days considering all these LCD panels keep getting higher..and with the price of them so low it justifies getting a large monitor. I'll keep searching for that interview but it was stated that at E3 the crysis demo was running on a 8800 GTX at high but not the highest settings...and that it was running well "most of the time"....Once again I'll look around and try to nab the interview...but considering I don't remember the gaming network that had the interview makes it hard to track down again.

But yea...We'll just have to wait and see what unfolds.
 
Well yeh they are saying DX9 because a 7800gtx cant do DX10 lol.

And it didn't say they are guessing anywhere you just made that up 😀

One of them was even a statement from the game makers lol.

"Latest Crytek statement: An "Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (or AMD equivalent), 2GB of memory, and either a Radeon HD 2900XT with 512MB of memory or a Geforce 8800 GTS with 640MB of memory" computer is "well-within [Crytek's] plans". However, Crysis is expected to scale back to three-year-old hardware, as well as the next-generation hardware. (Maximum PC, October 2007 Edition)"

Yes, all speculation made up by the site 😀
 
Again Crysis WILL run with a SINGLE 8800GTX IN DX10 MODE WITH MOST OF THE SETTINGS TURNED UP HIGH. In one preview on gamespot the author asked the crytek team who supervising the demo what the specifications of the computer that was running the demo.

"At E3, we were running on a [GeForce] 8800 video card and a dual-core Intel [CPU]with 4 gigabytes of RAM at very high settings. Not the highest, though! Most of the time, it was running smoothly.

Yes, we [are] progressing very well on optimization, and we will achieve our goal. Two-to-three-year-old rigs will run Crysis well, with lower visual settings still competing with the best games of two-to-three years ago."

just above the 3rd image.
 
That was it!..the interview..lol..thx for saving me the time to search...

Just focus on the fact that he said "Not the highest, though! Most of the time, it was running smoothly."
 

When did I say I was expecting benchmarks now? I said I want to see benchmarks before I will take either side of the "Crysis will/will not run great on SLIed 8800GTX's" argument. I don't care what they say at E3, show me the proof and I'll make up my mind. I try to base my opinions on data, not quotes.
 
Here's another quote that should put your mind at rest:

'Every sane person is wondering how all this is going to run on their system. We asked Cevat Yerli, Crytek CEO, what gamers with a limited budget should buy to make sure they can play Crysis well, and his first answer was two gigs of RAM. The single gig most of us have is going to struggle with environments of this size, and with this much smashable stuff to keep track of. Next on the shopping list is, predictably, a GeForce 8800 - but the GTS model in that range is fairly affordable, and not a huge step down from the GTX. The surprising part is that Cevat says a Core 2 Duo E6600 processor - the £140 mid-level chip in Intel's dual-core range - is enough to run Crysis on Ultra High settings with that setup. That chip is likely to undergo another price drop before Crysis comes out, too, so don't rush.'

Bioshock also shows that the Unreal 3 engine plays nicely on a 8800GTS and extremely well on a 8800GTX, so that's the two main DX10 capable game engines sorted out.
 
g92 shouldn't have problems running crysis. EA told us that this will run on 1800xt/1950 pro fine. How much eye candy you want is the real question.

We should get a better idea end of this month once crysis demo comes out...
 


It's coming end of this month. I think 31st.
 
Build your system that you want, but I'd just grab a 8800GTS 640 if I was you. It should last well enough until a PROPER DX10 card comes out, because even dual GTXs are totally anemic. Bear in mind, 8800s are FIRST GEN DX10, they are going to suck, suck, suck, even if you get dual Leviathans. Time needs to pass for DX10 and hardware to improve. You can toss as much money as you want into first gen DX10 cards, it won't change that they are first gen cards. So, tide yourself over with a single GTS, play Crysis on ok settings, and wait it out while you still get to actually play.

You wanna know when Crysis will FINALLY be playable on DX10 cards? When DX11 is released. The 8800s are more worthwile as last gen DX9, and really shouldn't be looked at for DX10 gaming at all.

Geeze, perfect example. I am only now, with an 8800GTS, FINALLY able to play FarCry properly LOL. HOW MANY YEARS OLD IS THAT??? 4 OR 5??? Just stop-gap with a GTS, and like the rest of us, you are FORCED to wait it out till better DX10 stuff hits the channel.
 
That's not how PC gaming industry works. It's a slow process from adopting older hardware to new ones.

8800 has been out a almost a year already and it still king far as current dx10 games.

Personally I thing 8800 would play crysis @ max quality fine. Now it might not let you play the highest resolutions but I'm willing to bet crysis will play fine without any hickups.

And FYI you could play FARCRY with a 9800pro on high fine. When the dx9c patch was applied it was playing fine on 6800gt with HDR.
 
Your fear of crysis not running properly is unfounded really... Have you forgotten that they have yet to optimize the game? It's been said in an interview somewhere that game optimizing was the last part of their journey and that they were barely only starting to work on it! (Late Aug or Sept interview) I wouldn't worry too much, I'd get a single GTX and maybe a Q6600 to play at decent resolutions, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that it will play fine on 1920x1080 on anything less than SLI GTX.
 
maverick,

You need to relax man. Just because you have some damn money doesn't mean you NEED to friggin spend it. WTF kind of logic is that? Just F-ing relax a little bit and wait a while if you can. If your computer does not play games at almost any settings as it is now, then upgrade. Or, you can wait until Crysis comes out and then get what you need when Crysis comes out. This isn't rocket science. If we were able to figure out a route for you to take why couldn't you?
 
Yeah, maybe I am a little harsh on the 8800s. But from my experience, when a new generation of games comes out, first gen hardware has a really tough time with it, like when people were running out and buying FX 5500s to play Doom 3.

Maybe drivers will improve for the 8800s to the point that you'll be happy with it until DX11. I hope so, as I got one myself... It works well for Oblivion, but Crysis??? This is going to be interesting... I don't think you'll be cranking the settings to max on that game for a while yet. At least you get to play the game again and enjoy it, which is nice. I am having a blast playing FarCry maxxed on the fantasy island filter, and it looks amazing.
 

You seem to really like the g92. Hope it's as good as you think it is. I'm personally not expecting much since I saw the 8600. Maybe the g92 is a 2nd gen DX10 card and will actually out-perform the 2 year-older X1950XT.

i think one 8800 gtx will be sufficient to play crysis nearly all the way up.
i play bioshock on a 7950gt 512mb at 1600x1200 max settings, 8xs antialiasing, 16x antisotropic. Runs at 30-40 fps.
just don't sli
that wouldn't be smart knowing that those 8800gtxs sli'ed wouldn't be able to beat one 9800. (educated guess) knowing that two 7950gts sli'ed can't beat one 8800gtx.
 
i have a fx60 and a 8800gts 320 and im not the least bit worried about how its going to handle crysis. If the game is not enjoyable on medium settings then it's not a good game. Crysis is going to be a good game.
 

didn't he say he's using sli himself? so maybe 2 7950's are faster than 1 8800 gts.... but he said not faster than a gtx
 

I don't guess now would be a good time to mention I have a 5 year rent-free lease :)

This seems good. I guess my wimpy PC isn't so wimpy after all.
However, I don't like seeing the Internet connection as part of "Minimum Requirements"
